Corning glass museum - Everything about GLASS

I was on 3-day tour last week and this is the place that I liked most after Niagara Falls.The Corning glass museum, which is in Corning, New York, USA is not only a museum with a collection of around 45000 glass objects but also an institution for glass making with a research lab. It allows you to explore different galleries of glass art from the ancient period to contemporary. Here are some extraordinary glass art designs:
